MM is a good coach, and from what I hear a good guy
but in sharper focus now he's at the blues, what I see is a one dimensional
coach.
A true professional is defined by someone who works with what he's got, not seek excuses in what he hasn't.
I m surprised no one on the board reminded him strongly of this when he presented during the week
when I saw his results in 2002-3 with the list he had - the admiration from me was he was able to get a list to collectively play
better than their capabilities.
this seems to have escaped him in later years.
His challenges are not the game plan and whether the team can play it. Its to instil confidence in each and everyone of them personally that it can be done - not through his assistants - HIM PERSONALLY.
His coaching skills needs to adapt from the physical aspects, to what's above the shoulders.
If he fails to do this - he has to understand there will be consequences
The luxury of list culls and prize recruits are conversations to be had by coaches of lesser ability
